Charlie Daniels is upset that his song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” was featured in Guitar Hero III, saying in a blog post, “I would never grant permission for some company to create a video game version of a song I wrote in which the devil wins a contest.” Daniels does not own the copyright to the song.

He has publicly stated that he would have refused permission for the song to be used if he had the power, claiming that the “very essence” of the song had been “violated.”

Wait, doesn’t the devil lose in that song??? Um, okay. Who else is surprised that Charlie Daniels has a blog?!

Check out Guitar Hero III’s version of the song:

Is the newly engaged (to Pete Wentz) Ashlee Simpson responsible for leaking the new Mariah Carey album?

Reports allege that Simpson’s father Joe leaked new Carey tracks so that his daughter would face less competition when her new album Bittersweet World comes out a week after Carey’s E=MC2.

Tsk tsk, Ash & Pappa Joe.  No one likes a dirty cheater.
